You should be able to set it up in the fstab to give all users rw
permissions. You will probably just need to set the fmask and dmask
to values you want (see the mount(8) & smbmount(8) man pages).
<qoute>
fmask=<arg>
sets the file mask. This determines the permissions that remote
files have in the local filesystem. The default is based on the
current umask.
dmask=<arg>
sets the directory mask. This determines the permissions that
remote directories have in the local filesystem. The default is
based on the current umask.
</qoute>
Also, you may need to chmod smbmount setuid root; IIRC smbmount has
to be run as root, regardless of fstab & other config files. But
this should only be done if you want/need nonroot users to be able to
mount/umount the remote smb filesystem(s).
Hope this helps,
